Description
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of devices for dispensing wiping materials such as hand wipes, toilet paper, and the like.
Description of the Related Art
The Applicant has designed and developed many dispensing devices providing pre-cut wiping materials.
Different technical solutions have thus been provided, which have been described in the Applicant's patents, identified as follows:
WO 2010/089467 and its development FR 1058449, WO 2010/063917, WO 2010/034915, WO 2010/007261, WO 2009/150342, FR 1058471, FR 1059244, FR 1060322.
Generally, such devices have a housing for receiving the wiping material, from which is attached a pivoting flap ensuring the guiding, by its curved upper portion, of the pulled strip of material, as well as a cover hinged to the housing, which may be fitted with complementary means cooperating with shapes provided on said flap to ensure the letting out of the pulled strip of material and the cutting thereof.
The problem that the present invention aims at solving is to simplify a dispensing device of this type and to decrease the bulk thereof.
The Applicant has desired to further optimize the design of the dispensing device by allowing a stable positioning of the roll of material arranged at the bottom of the housing and also to ease the grabbing of said strip of material by the operator to obtain a flat pre-cut format of strip of material.
The Applicant has also desired to improve the accessibility to the strip of material for its manual grabbing by the operator, but also, in case of a jamming on passing of the strip of material between the flap and the cover, to enable the unjamming of said material.
Based on this reflection, the Applicant has also searched, based on the same technical concept, for an embodiment of the dispenser to dispense wiping material from a single roll of material, or from two rolls of material, one being in service, the other one being a reserve roll, to increase the device usage capacity. This complementary approach has also been developed in the forming of a simple and easy-to-use device, with a minimum number of components, and while enabling to select the strip of wiping material to be pulled in the best conditions.
According to a first feature of the invention, the device for dispensing pre-cut rolled wiping material comprising a housing receiving a roll of wiping material, said housing comprising a back wall and two lateral walls, said walls forming external walls of the housing, said housing receiving a flap hinged with respect to the housing, ensuring the guiding and the unwinding of the roll of material, and a cover hinged with respect to the housing, defined after closing a space between said flap and said cover to enable the strip of material to come out, said flap and said cover defining a space between them to ensure the guiding and the letting out of the strip of material and the separation of a format of material, said device being characterized in that it has an external wall for supporting the roll of material having a profile comprising a horizontal central portion and, on either side, two raised front and back oblique portions enabling to receive, to center, and to hold in a stabilized way the roll of material, and in that the front oblique portion is, by its lower portion, jointed to the horizontal support portion, and recessed with respect to the front end of the housing to define a volumetric space with the flap, allowing the user to engage and to position his fingers to grab the unwound strip of material coming from the roll for the distribution of a cut format of material.
According to another feature, the dispensing device is remarkable in that it comprises two compartments separated by a transverse plate having the flap bearing against it, and in that the flap and the cover have central openings in front of each compartment for receiving a roll of wiping material.
The foregoing and other features will appear from the following description.
The object of the invention is illustrated as a non-limiting example in the drawings, where:
To make the object of the invention more tangible, it is now described in a non-limiting way illustrated in the drawings.
The pre-cut wiping material dispenser is designated with general reference (A). The wiping material (E) appears in a roll and may find applications as a hand wipe, toilet paper, household roll towels and, more generally, such a wiping material for sanitary purposes is intended to be used in public premises or for a private use by consumers or in organization, such as, for example, hospitals, clinics, or the like, or may be used in other industrial applications.
The device thus comprises a housing (1) comprising a back wall (1 a) two lateral walls (1 b) and a wall for supporting (1 c) the roll of material (E). The housing receives a hinged flap (2) ensuring the guiding and the unwinding of the roll of material. A cover (3) is hinged with respect to the housing by axes (3 a) cooperating with openings (1 d) formed on the lateral walls (1 b) of the housing.
According to the invention, the wall (1 c) for supporting the roll of material has a horizontal portion (1 c 1) and, on either side, two front and back oblique portions (1 c 2) and (1 c 3) having a same inclination, thus enabling to receive and to center the roll of material. Front oblique portion (1 c 2) is jointed by its lower portion to the horizontal central portion (1 c 1) recessed with respect to the front end of the housing to define a volumetric space (V) with the flap (2) enabling the operator to engage and to position his fingers in order to grab the strip of material unwound from the roll. In other words, the roll of material (E) is properly centered and positioned on the horizontal support portion (1 c 1), thus enabling to control its position and avoiding any rocking. The oblique portions (1 c 2) (1 c 3) are inclined with respect to the horizontal portion (1 c 1) according to an angulation a approximately ranging from 30 to 60°. The volumetric space (V) is thus particularly large with respect to the positioning of the flap (2), which is located at the front of the housing. This space has a substantially triangular configuration along the entire length of the device housing.
The flap (2) has an upper profile (2 a) of curved configuration with, at its end, two fingers (2 b) capable of engaging into openings (1 e) formed on the lateral walls of the housing. In the implementation illustrated in FIG. 1 , the flap (2) has in its lower portion a central opening (2 c) of substantially circular configuration with a very deep oblique slot (2 d) on either side. They thus define, between the opening (2 c) and the slots (2 d), a tab (2 e). The flap (2) may have a flat shape or may be provided with bulged areas as described in one of the previous patents of the Applicant.
The cover (3) comprises a locking device known per se, not shown, to be fastened to the housing. The cover has on its wall (3 b) opposite to the flap (2) a central opening (3 c) of same configuration as opening (2 c), and on either side of said opening (3 c), protruding ribs (3 d) which are capable of penetrating into the slots (2 d). The ribs have a tear drop configuration, with a rounded shape (3 d 1) located close to the lower end of the lower portion of the cover. Portion (3 b) of the cover is continued by a wall (3 e) covering the housing, this wall being capable of having a curved profile or of having a configuration with different faces as shown in FIG. 1 .
In the variation of FIG. 6 , the housing remains identical to that described previously. The flap (2) has the same configuration, except for the slots (2 d), which are replaced with end tabs (2 f) formed close to the edges of said flap with slots (2 g) between the tabs (2 f) and the flap wall, said slots (2 g) contributing to provide resilience to the flap on pulling of the strip of material.
The cover (3) in this specific configuration has, on either side of the central opening (3 c), folded portions (3 f) behaving as stops for the wiping material. Slots (3 g) are formed between the portions (3 f) forming stops and the lateral walls (3 h) of the cover.
The flap shown in FIG. 10 corresponds to that identified in FIG. 6 . The flap shown in FIG. 11 comprises, on either side of its central opening (2 c), two slots (2 d) delimiting two tabs (2 e) for allowing the passage of the ribs (3 d) formed on the cover. At its end, the flap has tabs (2 f) and slots (2 g) such as described previously. Referring to FIGS. 12 to 15 , the wiping material dispenser has been shown in a configuration with two compartments (c1) (c2) separated by a transverse plate (1 f). It comprises the support portion (1 c) such as defined previously. The transverse plate (1 f) located inside of the housing volume extends substantially outwards beyond the front portion (1 c 2) by forming a protruding portion (1 f 1) with a front edge (1 f 2) forming a bearing stop. In this embodiment, the flap (2) comprises between central openings (2 c) two parallel slots (2 h) delimiting a tab (2 m) between them, said tab being capable of bearing against the edge (1 f 2) of the transverse plate. The two slots (2 h) contribute to providing resilience to each corresponding portion of the flap of each compartment (c1) or (c2).
Further, and in an optimized embodiment of the invention, the cover (3) is fitted to receive a selector (4) sliding on the outside with respect to the cover (3) and arranged to horizontally move in order to close, now the opening (2 c) of the flap in relation with compartment (c1) of the housing, now the opening (2 c) in relation with compartment (c2) of the housing, and this, in an alternating back and forth motion along the direction indicated by arrow (f). For this purpose, the cover is provided with a very long horizontal recess (3 m) allowing the alternating motion of said selector (4). The latter thus comprises a plate of vertical trapezoidal configuration (4 a) with a beading (4 b) in its upper portion, capable of displacing within the recess (3 m). An upper stop part (5) enables to control the displacement of the selector by being maintained in vertical position. Either the stop part (5) is assembled and attached by means (5 a) on the cover, or the cover and this part (5) are formed in one piece on manufacturing. The selector (4) further has in its lower portion an inner leg (4 c) which continues the stop parts (3 f) formed on the cover. The trapezoidal configuration of the selector enables to totally close, to the right or the left, one of the openings (2 c) formed on the flap (2). It can thus be understood that the operator selects the roll of material to be unwound by a simple horizontal manipulation of the selector along the direction indicated by the arrow (F).
The solution provided by the Applicant provides a dispensing device of very simple design with only three or four components, according to the presence or not of the selector (4), that is, the housing (1), the flap (2), the cover (3). In all embodiments, whatever the configuration of the flap, several variations of which have been illustrated, the dispensing device, due to the specific shape of the portion for receiving the roll of material, provides an easy access for the operator's fingers into the volumetric space (V) which has been defined with the flap (2). In all cases, the grabbing of the strip of material is extremely easy, with no risk of wounding the fingers of the operator's hand, the material being dispensed flat.
